What it is
Peanut butter candy pieces are small, bite-sized pieces of candy that have a peanut butter flavor and often a candy shell. They are typically made by combining peanut butter with sugar, corn syrup, and other ingredients, then coating them in a hard candy shell. These pieces are designed to provide a sweet and salty flavor combination.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add peanut butter candy pieces to foods to provide a distinct peanut butter flavor and a sweet, crunchy texture. They are commonly found in snack mixes, trail mixes, baked goods like cookies and brownies, and as toppings for ice cream and desserts.
Health notes
Peanut butter candy pieces are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are primarily a source of sugar and fat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual ingredients used in their production. While generally considered safe in moderation, excessive consumption of candies high in sugar and fat can contribute to increased calorie intake.
Allergen info
Peanut butter candy pieces contain peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain other allergens depending on the specific ingredients used in their production.
